• High quality Spanish restricted-domain TTSoriented to a weather forecast application 

      Alías Pujol, Francesc; Iriondo Sanz, Ignasi; Formiga Fanals, Lluís; Gonzalvo Fructuoso, Xavier; Monzo Sánchez, Carlos; Sevillano Domínguez, Xavier (2005-09-04)
      A restricted domain text-to-speech system oriented to a weatherforecast application is presented. This TTS system is embed-ded in a multimedia interactive service accessible from differ-ent media, such ...

    • Local minimum generation error criterion for hybrid HMM speech synthesis 

      Gonzalvo Fructuoso, Xavier; Gutkin, Alexander; Socoró Carrié, Joan Claudi; Iriondo Sanz, Ignasi; Taylor, Paul (2009-09)
      This paper presents an HMM-driven hybrid speech synthesis approach in which unit selection concatenative synthesis is used to improve the quality of the statistical system using a Local Minimum Generation ...
    • Multi-domain Text-to-Speech Synthesis by Automatic Text Classification 

      Alías Pujol, Francesc; Socoró Carrié, Joan Claudi; Sevillano Domínguez, Xavier; Iriondo Sanz, Ignasi; Gonzalvo Fructuoso, Xavier (2006-09-17)
      This paper describes a multi-domain text-to-speech (MD-TTS)synthesis strategy for generating speech among different domainsand so increasing the flexibility of high quality TTS systems. Tothat ...
